The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a genitourinary disorder that was incurred in or aggravated by his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not show continuity of symptomatology related to an in-service injury and there is no competent medical evidence linking current genitourinary conditions to service.
